Get Your Hands Dirty

Some days, when I feel like my story is muddled, the best thing I can do is take a break and hop on the treadmill where I can think without looking at a computer screen.

Some days, when I feel like my story is muddled, the best thing I can do is dive right in, put some words down and hope they lead to something productive. I need to stick my hands into the mud and clay and see what shape emerges.

Today, I think I'll tread first then stick my hands into the clay. It's a seriously muddled kind of day.

Oh yeah. Half the time I'm absolutely positive that I have no idea what I'm doing. Okay, that's more like 99% of the time. lol... When I reach a point where I need to "think", I get up and do something physical--clean, walk, even take a shower.
